I am losing my mind, people. We are living in an apartment with a cranky downstairs neighbor, and my kids just have to alter their behavior. It's not fair, but they have to. They just do. But they will not. AND I AM GOING FUCKING CRAZY. I am repeating myself so often that I'm annoying even myself, and I'm starting to feel like the teacher in Charlie Brown cartoons. Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.

I can't. I cannot repeat myself anymore. They're not listening and I've said everything so many times that it's beyond redundant. It's too much. It's too much for them to listen to, it's too much for me, it's too much for everyone. We're all gonna end up in the loony bin if this continues.

So. We're trying something new. We're going to try a book that a number of people have recommended and hope like hell that it does the trick. And if it does work, I will sing the name of said book loud and clear for all to hear.

It's time. We all need to shut the hell up and get along. Or else... they're coming to take me away, ha ha!

About Me

I am the stay-at-home mama of a five and a half year old and a four year old. (I'm exhausted just typing that.) I am also a practicing and recovering English teacher with a gig as content writer. I have a deep, intense love for coffee, dark beer, poetry, short stories, chocolate, sleep and wit.
I created this blog in an effort to maintain my writing and my sanity. One for two ain't bad.
I'm also an essayist and can be found contributing regularly at Rattle & Pen and Luna Luna Magazine.
